The company, a French-born company director, has lived in Australia since 1990 and caused some uproar in the first half of the year by promoting local covid-19 vaccine production on Australian soil and declaring that the continent is his home and intends to ensure safety. its inhabitants.
Although Soriot lives on the southern outskirts of Sydney, he bought a weekend house in a suburb on the north bank of the Parramatta River, which flows through the city and empties into the South Pacific.
The house is designed as a bungalow, it has only a ground floor reaching directly under the gable roof. Its heart is a large living room, which is very nicely connected to the garden thanks to the glass walls that surround it on two sides.
The feeling of an invisible transition from interior to exterior is also supported by the use of the same stone floor on the “edge” around the house and on the site of a covered terrace with a BBQ corner. In some places, one does not even notice that he is no longer inside the house, but in the garden.
There is a necessary BBQ corner outside.

A nice idea is to visually differentiate the individual zones in the house. Those that are literally used for rest and relaxation, ie the living room and bedroom, are heavily glazed and a large amount of wood in a natural color is used in the interior.
On the contrary, places where more activity and attention are expected, or there are higher demands on regular maintenance (bathroom and kitchen), are furnished in white and have easier-to-treat surfaces.
As the website of the local real estate platform Domain emphasizes, in addition to four separate bedrooms, the house does not lack equipment that is considered an absolute necessity in the given locality, ie a wine cellar, a home cinema and a gym.
Soriot’s house cost 8 million Australian dollars, ie about 129 million crowns.
